[" \u2014 Vol.XLVIH, No.51 Westmount, P.Q., H3Z 2W6, Thursday.December 23, 1976 Making net just your house but all of Westmount your home 15e Transfers seem Politics seems to have had little effect on realty prices and volume in Westmount last month, a normally off-season period.Neither the uncertainty at the beginning of the month of the provincial election\u2019s outcome, nor the eventual Parti Québecois victory on Nov.15 seem to have affected residential transactions in this community.\" a In fact, the average markup over Montreal Urban Community valuation increased slightly from October, up to 56.3% for residential properties from the 53.1% the previous month.The markup average has hovered around 55% most of the year, except for a strong surge in April, May and June sales when prices were between 75 and 80% higher than property tax value.Several of the real estate transactions involved intra- family transfers of property (presumably for tax or security purposes) such as sales from a Bonds gone Thieves broke through a \u201c defective lock to an apartment on Melville avenue during the day Monday and stole some $400 worth of bank certificates and bonds.The theft occurred sometime between 8:15 am and 7:30 pm.husband to wife or brother to sister, but still the overall volume of 33 transfers registered during November indicates a reasonably strong market.In November last year only 27 exchanges were Continued on page six For The Weather You Want Consult: Lie NEAL McG re LN J DECEMBER 18 to 31 ;

somewhat lower was what seems to be a normal sale of 4302 Montrose avenue for $162,000.The lowest transaction was the $13,000 sale of a 50-percent share of 131-33 A.E.LEPAGE IMMEURLES WESTMOUNT REALTIES Wishing all our many friends the happiest of holidays HARRY QUART JR.1367 Greene Avenue 935-8541 Our Only Business Is Real Estate Lewis avenue, again in a seeming inter-family transaction;

ù Fire brigade gives gift, party ideas How\u2019s your holiday planning going?Have you got the gift for the man (or woman) who has everything?Do you know what you're going to do at that party you're having, to liven things up?No?The Westmount Fire Brigade came forth with a couple of suggestions on Tuesday, ideas which might last a lifetime\u2014and a longer one than might have been.If you're at a loss what to get your family or friends for Christmas, look in the Montreal yellow pages, pages 607-610.Smoke detectors, which have more than once saved lives around town, are one of the \u201chot sellers\u2019 this year, and for good reason\u2014they\u2019re invaluable.Fire extinguishers might be appreciated by many people, too, or other types of fire prevention equipment.Those pages are filled with the names of reputable dealers.Now that your shopping problems are over, think about plans for your party.Suggest to your friends, once there, that they imagine a fire starting under the Christmas tree, in the kitchen or in the front hall.What would they all do?How would they get out of the house?Such an exercise could be fun, getting people out on the patio or front yard for a bit of fresh air and perhaps some carolling.Whether or not you accept these suggestions, have a happy\u2014and safe\u2014holiday, say fire brigade officials.The firemen are there if you need them, but they\u2019d like things to be 4424.Continued from page six have heard more open discussion about use of chemical drugs this year than last, though how this relates to actual consumption cannot be determined.It seems certain that, should the CLSC be created in the near future.a youth counselling clinic will be included, and though Mrs.Bedoukian is not certain she will be hired as director of such a clinic, good Westmount representation on the CLSC committee would bode well for the retention of her expertise.A return to the \u2018\u2019days of old.\u2019 when a high-calibre centre was able to seek out and treat the problems of Westmount's youth, however, seems a remote possibility for the near future.Changes in air temperature can often affect the solidity of ice.Red Cross urges you to always check ice conditions before venturing on the surface.The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 23, 21 Somerville Ave.Peace DARMO\u2019S Auto Body Reg'd \u2014 =3 quiet and peaceful, too.William Boyd Robson died suddenly Dec.15 William Boyd Robson, a native Westmounter, passed away suddenly Dec.15, at his residence \u201cin his 71st year.Born at 4479 Western avenue (now de Maisonneuve boulevard), eldest son of the late William Thomas Robson and Ella Sylvester Robson, he attended Argyle School and graduated from Westmount High in 1924.Following a short sojourn in London, England, at which time he took an extension course in journalism at London University, he returned to Montreal upon the death of his father and took over control of the Westmount News Company.In 1934 he co-founded Robson Printers Limited with his brother, Roderick, and was president of the company until his retirement in 1970.Mr.Robson served in the ranks of the Canadian Army during World War II.In 1944 he was commissioned a 2nd Lieutenant in the Royal Canadian Electrical & Mechanical Engineers.In 1966 he received the appointment of honorary lieutenant-colonel with the 2nd Montreal Service Battalion (Militia).Mr.Robson, a member of St.Matthias\u2019 Church, was actively involved in community and business affairs.At the time of his death he was a director of the Reddy Memorial Hospital and a former governor of the Montreal Children\u2019s Hospital.He was also a former member of the Montreal Board of Trade, and was a past director of the Advertising & Sales Executives\u2019 Club of Montreal.Mr.Robson was also a member of the Canadian Club of New York, of which his father, W.T.Robson, was the club\u2019s first president.Other activities included memberships at the Montreal Amateur Athletic Association and the Royal St.Lawrence Yacht Club.rr a Wishing All Our Customers Merry Christmas and Happy New Year Anthony's VARIETY STORE Post Office Greeting Cards Etc.Open 8 am to 9 pm (Sunday: 11 am to 6 pm) 4500 St.Catherine St.W.(Cor.Abbott) MUCTC BUS TICKETS JR YO YOU YUE JS VE AVE - .wr > ;

The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 23, 1976 In early 1963, as Westmount's city council sat down to prepare a new zoning map for the southeastern sector of West- mount, the Greene-Elm-Wood- Atwater area south of Western avenue was a rather unsightly mess of buildings and parking lots, complete with houses of ill repute and massage parlors.An upgrading of the area was sorely needed, and already city council was working with a private developer who wished to build a Westmount Centre.Not until November of that year were plans for the West- mount Centre complex completed.À model of the proposed construction, printed in The Examiner on Nov.22, shows three apartment towers and an office building, all situated between Wood and Elm avenues, Western avenue (now de Maisonneuve boulevard) and St.Catherine street.Land had been purchased by Westmount Centre Inc., the developer, stretching to Greene avenue, however, and plans for some type of extension to Greene were part of the original proposal.That year, 1963, was important in the history of the project's genesis.Under the aegis of Mayor Chipman H.Drury, the Bland report for the redevelopment of southern Westmount was made public, for which studies had begun in 1960.A master zoning plan for the city resulted from this, and while much of the work was completed that year, rezoning of the southeastern (and southwestern) areas of Westmount was held off until the end of 1963 and the beginning of 1964.Andy Dodge recaps The |Square|deal To last month\u2019s lively citizen participation in a referendum on No.5 Westmount Square, the area and the concerned people have come a long way since the early \u201960s of massage parlors and district decay.Expropriations to widen Dor- chester boulevard began in 1963, and plans for new apartment and office buildings in \u2018the area were announced almost weekly in The Examiner.Nothing was mentioned about Westmount Square or any new construction until last July 5, a full year later.Mayor Donald MacCallum made a \u2018\u201cby-the- way\u201d comment during a city council meeting, and citizens were off and running.| So shocked were some citizens, having understood that highrises were no longer a part of the city\u2019s philosophy, that they even gasped this was the first they had heard of such a scheme.Lines drawn From then until last month's referendum, the lines were very clearly drawn.Mayor MacCallum sent out letters explaining the city\u2019s position (as had Mayor Drury 14 years before), promising that this was the last high-rise his administration would allow, but emphasizing it was \u2018the completion of a block\u2019 rather than another tower for the southeast area of the city.Mondev offered « A EE ™ eu SN S e vo; MEMBER Dispensing Opticians © Opticiens d'Ordonnance CONTACT LENSES « 4 LOCATIONS TO SERVE YOU 1460 Sherbrooke W.(corner Mackay) 842-3809 3550 Cote des Neiges (Seaforth Medical Bldg.) 932-6806 5016 Sherbrooke W.(near Claremont) Cavendish Shopping Mall, Cote St.Luc 487-5131 482-8290 430 ABELARD.APT.'C ILE DES SOEURS Claude D.Lac CONSULTATION ET CROISSANCE PERSONNELLE ( GESTALT) COUNSELLING AND PERSONAL GROWTH \u2018 766-4884 17:00-19:00 N.B.Walker Podiatrist 321 Victoria Avenue, Westmount ' 484-4664 o\u2026-.\u201coc.Ber Sa TU Te 7 UN TES C1 00 drawing of the complex, drawings which de-emphasized the actual tower but stressed the retail stores and public walkway (\u2018windswept plaza,\u201d in GAVA\u2019s words) at street level.The threat (or warning) was put forward that, if they were forced to build.within the present zoning restrictions, they would build a six-storey, full-coverage office building which would not necessarily contain street-level shopping outlets.Thus the option was clear.Either build an office building, which would abut the sidewalk with a massive black curtain- wall (to conform with the other Westmount Square buildings) and little breathing-room around it, or construct a high-rise tower which many felt was out of vogue but would be far closer to the Greene avenue streetscape than ,any of the other buildings.(It should be noted that the prospect of a less elaborate and uglier building envisioned in notes drawn up and later made public by Mondev President I.Rocke Ransen were not taken seriously by anyone, even apparently Mr.Ransen.) Various points came forward in the ensuing debate.Floor area ratio was a contentious issue, whether the new building could be considered an individual highrise by itself or part of the square, in which a significant numerical difference resulted.Traffic wind, and the \u2018\u2018transition\" from City of Montreal to western, low-rise Westmount property all came into play, but two highlights stood out: First was the question of precedent, with the opponents suggesting that, if city council could accede to the requests for this high-rise development, it would become far easier for other developers to pressure the city into more of the same.Already, it was noted, two vacant or for-sale lots surrounded the Steinberg\u2019s supermarket on the west side of Greene avenue, five properties were in the hands of a single owner on the east side of Greene north of de Maisonneuve, and the southeast corner of Greene and de Maisonneuve was ripe for redevelopment (even before last month's fire at 1265A Greene).Repeatedly Mayor MacCallum kept insisting that the city had\u201dno intention of allowing further high-rise development during his administration, though he was unwilling to make promises for future mayors.He noted that already his administration had killed plans for the First Quebec tower.and, it seems, that action effectively discouraged Toulon MERCIER & TOUTANT Arpenteurs \u2014 Géomètres Quebec Land Surveyors 4898 de Maisonneuve O.489-8251 Development Corp.from applying pressure to allow a tower further.east on St.Catherine street.Both have consented to low-rise office buildings.High-rises \u2018bad\u2019 Second, and perhaps more important, was the \u2018\u2018gut\u201d feeling\u2014mainly among residents in the area\u2014that high-rise is, in and of itself, bad.The philosophy affects those who must live with the buildings in their back yard more than others, perhaps, because the residents do not want to feel crowded by an encroaching city.Even the Wood or Clarke avenue residents, who might not differentiate the new tower from the others already standing, would know something had been added to the shadow which could, from time to time, nip their back yards as though asking them to move over so the building could sit down.The philosophy, which escapes logic, did not discourage city council despite successful demands for a referendum, with all but\u2019 one of the zones contiguous to the Greene avenue commercial zones included.Logic was on the city\u2019s side.The building would increase night-time activity on Greene, would allow a \u2018residential wedge\u2019 into an otherwise commercial area of Westmount, would bring more shoppers to already existing stores on Greene avenue and probably would allow a building which would not bring with it the increase in traffic or parking problems in the area that could be expected from an office structure, In early October, council set the date for the referendum.The calling of a provincial election soon afterwards, while in no way related to the local debate, allowed tempers to cool somewhat, though those opposed to the tower were not swayed in the meantime.An Examiner poll taken on Nov.11 and 12 showed that opinion among property- owners was quite evenly divided on the issue, with those who lived in the area opposing the project, while those who owned property but lived elsewhere generally favored it, in line with the emotional-logical arguments already mentioned.On the day of the referendum, Nov.22, GAVA felt confident the vote would go against the project.Literature had been passed out to resident property owners during the weekend.Opposition forces were carefully lined up and marched into city hall in ones or twos to cast their ballots.Voters spurred Mondev, however.perhaps spurred by The Examiner's observation that non-resident IUT NET RS \"Le Cat TE owners generally favored the project, or perhaps out of a genuine feeling that democratic justice demanded full participation, drove proprietors from other parts of Montreal into Westmount to cast their ballots.The less-interested voters were thus spurred to \u2018\u2018do their democratic duty.\u201d It was the City of West- mount\u2014and not Mondev\u2014which won the day.Mondev had been dragged through three years of negotiations with the city before the final agreement was \u2018reached.The new city council, elected in the fall of 1975, had put its teeth into the proposal and battled out the agreement for a residential tower and street-front stores.Mayor MacCallum, who succeeded the late Mayor Paul Ouimet in March 1975, had been privy to the back-room negotiations both earlier as alderman and as mayor.In effect, however, everybody won.It is clear from the debate, the events surrounding the debate, and the promises made by Mayor MacCallum that it will be a long, long time before highrise buildings stretch further into Westmourit.It should be noted, however, that the old RCMP building between Westmount Square and Alexis Nihon Plaza, is ripe for redevelopment.The citizens have shown their teeth, have made it obvious that *\u2018their corner of.the city\u201d will not give way to the creeping westward movement of \u2018\u2018downtown,\u201d whether it be Westmount or Montreal.; If council has learned its lesson\u2014and with a 14-vote split in the referendum it certainly should have\u2014the next step will be a master development plan for all of Greene avenue and perhaps for all of Westmount's commercial area.Citizen consultation will increase as a result of the debate, most probably; certainly the narrowness of council's victory put to shame the uncoordinated citizen opposition of the original West- mount Centre plan.Openness seen Citizens have shown council that they are well-enough educated, and concerned enough about the future of their city, to participate openly in the planning process.They have shown developers that negotiations .cannot be carried out in a backroom vacuum; though Mondev, as a good corporate citizen, has been one of the more public- spirited developers to some into this community.First Quebec, too, has been quite open about its plans.Probably many of the proprietors never felt so involved in the democratic process, and the experience might awaken further latent powers of political participation among them.Time only can tell whether or not the apartment tower to be built is the best for Westmount and its citizens.There are many who still have mixed emotions about the potential future of Greene avenue and southeastern Westmount.Democracy has had its day, however, and that can only be good.Only a strong shift in the social conscience of Westmount can turn back the way, which has clearly been pointed out in the past several months.High-rises are on their way out.Like the raven, so sayeth the citizens: \u2018\u201cNevermore.\u201d\u2019 Centre opposed The proposal for a $20,000,000 \u201cWestmount Centre\u201d sparked the most controversy, despite its conforming with the philosophy of the Bland report that mixed- use development be encouraged.Announcement of the complex came at the time that the first reading was given to zoning amendments, and immediately John J.Seguier, 504 Mountain avenue, announced formation of an opposition movement.He was able to muster only five property-owners to the hastily- called public meeting, however, and the new zoning was in effect approved.Other opponents chose to take the matter to court, and not until October 1964 was a court decision reached that the statutory eight days between public notice of the zoning amendment and holding of the public meeting had not been granted.In any event, city council was forced to bring foward a new amendment\u2014the construction having been stalled an entire year\u2014and by then plans for the complex had been changed.The new plans called for an extension to the rear line of existing buildings fronting on Greene avenue, 21-storey apartment towers where originally only 16 storeys had been planned, and only two apartment buildings rather than three, along with a 20-storey office building.Models produced then look almost like the existing Westmount Square.No schemes were announced publicly at that time to eventually extend the complex to Greene avenue, though three properties had been purchased on Greene, purportedly for a walkway.In any event, Mayor Drury gave third reading to a new Westmount Square (Westmount Centre) zoning by-law on Dec.21, 1964, one of his last acts as mayor of the city.Not a single voice was raised in opposition to the amendment at a public meeting earlier in the month, and council already had approved sale of Elm avenue to the developer.Demolition began in January 1965, but more opposition activity in the courts held up sod-turning for a full year, until Jan.12, 1966.The complex, titled Westmount Square, opened for business late the next year, but was not officially completed until 1969.Six-year quiet No major new developments concerning Westmount Square took place until December 1973, when Mondev\u2014now the full owher\u2014mortgaged its land to secure funds for the construction of a new tower, at least 10 storeys high and to cost at least $4 million to build.Though nothing public was known until this time, the city apparently had been working with Mondev since 1972 to work out a scheme for the new building, and the whole idea of \u2018\u201c\u2018completing the square\u2019 went back to the previous decade, according to tales related this year.Damolition of the building at the « rner of Greene and St.Catherine during the summer of 1974 gave further indication that plar were in the works, but by ther \u2018ie Greene Avenue Village Ass« - -ation had been formed and became a party in consideration of any new buildings.While GAVA originally was formed early in 1974 to press for restoration of the Old Post Office SAAR gn a ana, rise complex data rev Tes The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 23, 1976 - ealed The original model for Westmount Square, then known as Westmount Centre, as it appeared in The Examiner, Nov.22, 1963.at the northwest corner of Greene and de Maisonneuve, it quickly took up the cause of preservation of the \u2018village atmosphere\u2019\u2019 on the entire street.By fall it had made strong representation to the city\u2019s architectural and planning commission; the commission had been so impressed that it loaned GAVA a trailer for two weeks in November to survey residents, merchants and shoppers on the street and to determine what the overriding citizen attitude would be.Mondev talked to GAVA as well, but each apparently found the other's position on another tower untenable.The private company even went so far as to offer its tenants at the corner of Greene and St.Catherine (whose buildings were to be demolished) space in the Old Post Office, which Mondev would buy and Non-resident vote rights questioned The provision in the Quebec Cities and Towns Act allowing nonresident proprietors to vote in zoning referendums could be dangerous, according to Hubert de la Beaumelle, member of the traffic and zoning committee of the Westmount Municipal Association advisory council.At this month's brief W.M.A.meeting, Mr.de la Beaumelle said he didn\u2019t blame the absentee landlords for voting for the recent by-law amendment allowing the construction of an apartment tower by Mondev Inc.at the corner of Greene avenue and St.Catherine street.He said if he were in their position he would have voted for it too because it would increase the value of the land.He suggested, however, that perhaps only residents of areas affected by zoning changes should be allowed to vote.He gave no reasons for his opinion beyond the implication that residents could become the least powerful group in such a referendum while being the most affected.WMA chairman Dan Tingley said the matter deserved some consideration and suggested that Mr.de la Beaumelle make a \u2018\u201c\u2018mini-study\u2019\u2019 of the problem and \u201cperhaps come back with some recommendations,\u2019 which could be forwarded to Quebec.refurbish, but GAVA rejected the idea out of hand.The village association made its opposition to the building quite clear at that time.\u201cIf the Westmount Square project were to be completed as once planned, adding a third apartment tower of 18 storeys at St.Catherine street,\u201d their report on the street claimed, \u2018the net residential density (floor area ratio 6.7) would surpass the norm recently established for the core area of Montreal (FAR 6.0) and exceed by far that suggested for areas adjacent to the core (FAR 4.5 \u2026 The tower form of development with accompanying areas of windswept plaza is no longer preferred to a medium or low- profile building form which allows people better contact with the ground, reduces wind and creates more useful and ; humanly-scaled outdoor , spaces.\u201d Backed off Whether because of the citizen opposition or because of the general tight-money situation at the time, Mondev backed off on its immediate plans for the tower and the city ignored the corner | early in the next year in a \u201cworking paper\u201d on rezoning the southern area of Westmount, which was presented to the public.Little mention of the by- then cleared corner lot was made during citizen debate on the new zoning scheme, though many citizens expressed their private consternation that nothing was said about the corner.With GAVA leading the way, however.it became clear that the high-rise philosophy had had its day in Westmount.While Westmount was ready to propose zoning to allow a high-rise tower on the south side of St.Catherine - street: directly across from Westmount Square (property owned by First Quebec Corporation), briefs handed to the city in response to the working paper almost unanimously rejected such a tower.The working paper itself stayed away from any other proposals for high-rise development, preferring to stress preservation and lower profiles in the rest of | the city.The strong opposition to the First Quebec Tower forced the city (and the developer) to scale that proposal down from 21 storeys to a mere six, and it seemed the die was cast.A ! consensus had been reached, citizens felt, that the high-rises of the \u2018\u201960s would become monuments to that decade, never to be repeated in West- mount.Caminiti\u2026 ne.ressentie Oivision

Dr.William Cohen, parnass; Samuel Schacter, school board president and Mrs.Lewis Goelman, instructress. y \u2014= » The Westmount Examiner, Thursday, December 23, 1976 - 19 Christmas means break for local hockey teams Teams in bantam, midget and senior finished their fourth and final set of games before the Christmas break this past week.Schedules for all leagues recommence the first week in January.The Bruins and Flyers remain tied for first place in the bantam section after both won this week.Brenen Long shut out the Hawks in the Flyers\u2019 convincing win.The Bruins beat the Leafs 2-0 on goals by John Fraser and Joe Doupe.The Flames evened up their record at two wins and two losses with their 3-2 victory over the Rangers.Midway through the final period the Flames found themselves behind by one goal, but Matthew Carrothers and John McCloskey scored late in the game to give their team the win.The Badgers took sole possession of first place in the midget league with their second consecutive win over the Spar- tons.This week the Mustangs beat the Hornets 5-2 after having A merry week at WHS closes out first term By NOAH RICHLER and IAN MALLORY Ho! Ho! Ho! Another merry week at Westmount High School.The Vox Ducum and newspaper committees kicked of the week's festivities with a showing of Monty Python's \u2018\u2018And now for something completely different\u2019\u2019 last Monday night.The film showing, though funny and indeed different, lost approximately $30.00.Most felt the low attendance and subsequent low income was due to the film's early week scheduling.On Wednesday morning an assembly was held in the school auditorium at which representatives of the Salvation Army and Greenpeace organizations had an opportunity to speak to a holiday- minded audience.The Salvation Army asked that the students help them in their Christmas campaign by each bringing a can of food.Greenpeace, a group devoted to the preservation of whales, seals and similar species, put on a moving slide display in a successful effort to attract sympathy and charity.Various buttons were later sold in the foyer for Greenpeace\u2019s benefit.And that\u2019s not all.Friday afternoon saw the performance of the eagerly awaited \u201cCorn Show.\u201d On the production side, Robert Solomon and Stephen Scherzer put together what material they had with originality and continuity.Bright spots in the show were the \u201cRice Krispies Commercial,\u201d a witty classroom scene that was Carols, movie for teens Butch Cassidy and the Sun- dance Kid will be shown at the Westmount YMCA at about 11 pm this evening, the final event of a Christmas carol evening being organized for Westmount teenagers by Russel Graul of Thoughts in Action.Participants are asked to be at Westmount High School at 8 pm for the start of carolling, which will be followed by tobogganing in King George Park, then hot chocolate and the movie at the YMCA.very similar to that of one of the school\u2019s more popular teachers (though the hosts insisted none of the skits were based on any characters in the school), an interview with a French actress and a striptease by two attractive senior citizens.The production was generally well received, but some felt it was held too close to the Variety Show.Finally, a bake sale was held Tuesday in the foyer, topping off the week with a little icing.And now the first term is over.A jolly season to all.Humbug! By NICK KASIRER lost the previous game to the same team 3-2.The Wanderers, coached by Bob Hamilton, have already bettered their record of last season.Mike Katz scored a goal and an assist to give the Wanderers their second win of the Garbage Bowl Souvenir programs for the 28th annual Garbage Bowl Game, the traditional Montreal West New Year's Day football game, will be handed out from 5 to 9 pm next Wednesday at Alexis Nihon Plaza.The programs will be distributed by players wearing their traditional long john uniforms and they will be carrying \u2018garbage cans\u2019 to collect donations.Stars and Charles Mackay scored the Sabres\u2019 goal.The Stars have yet to lose in their first six outings.young season, 3-1 against the Bruins.Earlier in the week the Sabres beat the Wanderers 6-3, and Tim Martz and the Stars shut out the Bruins 3-0.Last Thursday the Stars and Sabres played a tight defensive game to a 1-1 tie.Marc Paskulin scored for the ; The standings The standings in the West- mount hockey leagues as of Monday are as follows: has programs BANTAM Proceeds from the only New Flyers Ss CEA a Year\u2019s bowl in Canada, played Bruins 15 43106 between the Northern Combines Flames 3 \u2018 2 2 9 \u2018 (red long johns) and Southern Bombers (green long johns) go to Rangers 2 3 : | 3 the Mackay Centre and the MIDGET welfare projects of the Montreal padgers 14 43106 Westward Rotary Club.The \u2018[urhore® 4220 game will be played at 2 pm New spartons 14 413 0 2 Year's Day at Montreal West SENIOR High School and will be preceded, 3'ars 4 83915 at 1:30, by a parade from the wanderers 24 6 2 4 D 4 Montreal West Fire Station.Bruins 2461502 DOWNTOWN DATSUN SALES .SERVICE 40 J BODY SHOP PARTS = MAJOR ACCIDENT REPAIRS 2107 St.Catherine Street West .1 FLOORS OF SERVICE Your local downtown Datsun dealer.ES 932-7136 1315 Lafontaine St.MAY THE HOLIDAY SEASON RING JOYOUSLY FOR YOU!
